## Resource

How do historic buildings become thriving breweries, restaurants, and gathering places? On this episode, we sit down with architect David Lopez , Principal at Twopoint Studio, to explore the intersection of historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and Maryland's brewing heritage. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience designing and rehabilitating historic buildings, David shares how old industrial spaces can be thoughtfully transformed while preserving the stories embedded in their walls. From iconic brewery projects like Guilford Hall, Diamondback, and Checkerspot to the broader role preservation plays in community revitalization, this conversation uncorks the fascinating relationship between architecture, history, and the places where we raise a glass. As part of Preservation Maryland's Spirited History series, it's a look at where preservation and alcohol truly converge.
